Construction of the Port of Sorong is clear evidence that the government is maximizing local potential in Papua

The government is building Papua so that the lives of its people will get better. The government's attention is in the form of the construction of the trans Papua road that connects the provinces of West Papua and Papua. After the existence of this road, it is hoped that the traffic and delivery of goods will run smoothly and facilitate the mobility of the Papuan people.

If the delivery is smooth and fast, the price of the goods can be automatically lowered. Especially with the Papua One Price policy launched by the government, through state-owned oil companies. This is another concern of the president, so that the price of gasoline and diesel can go down. Of that which can reach 150,000 rupiah per liter, so only 6,500 per liter.

Another development in Papua is the port project in Sorong. Its construction has been since 2015 and will be brought forward again, so that it can become an international harbor. This status is very important so that the waters around Papua can be more advanced. If the port is developed, the community will also benefit, because there are many tourist visits.

The government's move to advance the international port in Sorong is related to the sea highway project. The strategic position of the port could be the main link of the sea highway route for the Papua region. So later on, water transportation in Papua will also run smoothly, so that logistics delivery will be faster. The community benefits because they no longer wait for packages too long.

The government is not only thinking about advancing land transportation in Papua, but also in water transportation. Likewise with the Sentani international airport project. If air transportation is also carried out, the distribution of goods to mountainous areas such as Oksibil will be faster. This delivery is very important, especially for food ingredients.

To realize progress in Papua, the government does not hesitate to spend billions of rupiah. This fund comes from taxes from mining companies in Cendrawasih. The government also provides rules and supervision, so that the funds given are really absorbed and there are no loopholes for corruption by the officials there.
